About Us
Butler College is one of six residential colleges at Princeton University. With the opening of the new Butler dormitories and common spaces in September 2009, Butler became a four-year college, housing over a hundred juniors and seniors along with approximately four hundred underclassmen, ten graduate students, and a resident faculty fellow. Butler residents hail from every corner of the nation and the globe, and represent a remarkable diversity of backgrounds and interests. One of the aims of the residential college system is to build a strong sense of community, providing a living and learning environment that serves to enrich the Princeton experience in untold ways. Butler’s academic and social programming, much of which is organized by the students themselves, complements the classroom and extracurricular experience. Many programs are organized jointly with our paired two-year college, Wilson. We are very proud of our architecture at Butler, but our focus has always been on people – students, faculty and staff working together to get the most out of our collective Princeton experience.
